Hello, do you know any settings for sharing to safe overclock? Please feel free to share. 😉
I'm a bit new to overclocking.
MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision are effective options for Nvidia graphics cards.
With GPU Boost 3.0 enabled, the card can operate near its thermal or power ceiling. Most custom cooled cards successfully overcome thermal throttling.
Run a game or benchmark to track the GPU frequency. Use this maximum value as your baseline.
Most Pascal GPUs reach 2000-2100Mhz, while some achieve up to 2200Mhz.
You'll need to increase the power limit gradually. As noted earlier, adjust the offset carefully and ensure stability. Keep an eye on temperatures and repeat the process.
Apply similar adjustments for memory. I haven't tested GDDR5 on the 1070, but based on observations, most configurations can handle a 400-500Mhz boost.
Gradually increase the core clock in small steps (10-20Mhz) and perform stress tests along the way. After achieving a stable high core clock, repeat the process with the memory clock. It may take some time, but once it's set, it will remain accurate for many years.

Beyond that, safety depends on your setup. The system might crash, but overclocking can usually be disabled afterward. Once power settings are locked in, damage from over-voltage is unlikely.
